fabric loop port FL_Port. A fabric port (F_Port) that contains arbitrated loop (AL)

functions associated with the Fibre Channel arbitrated loop (FC-AL)

topology. The access point of the fabric for physically connecting an

arbitrated loop of node loop ports (NL_Ports).

fabric port F_Port. Physical interface within the fabric that connects to a node

port (N_Port) through a point-to-point full duplex connection.

fabric membership list The list of switches, specified by Domain ID and WWN, that will be

exchanged during Exchange Fabric Membership Data.

failover Automatic and nondisruptive transition of functions from an active

field-replaceable unit (FRU) that has failed to a backup FRU.

FAN Fabric address notification.

FCP A standard Fibre Channel protocol used to run SCSI over Fibre

Channel.

fiber The fiber-optic cable made from thin strands of glass through which

data in the form of light pulses is transmitted. It is used for

high-speed transmissions over medium (200 m) to long (10 km)

distances.

Fibre Channel FC. Integrated set of standards recognized by American National

Standards Institute (ANSI) which defines specific protocols for

flexible information transfer. Logically, a point-to-point serial data

channel, structured for high performance.

Fibre Channel address A 3-byte node port (N_Port) identifier which is unique within the

address domain of a fabric. Each port may choose its own identifier,

or the identifier may be assigned automatically during fabric login.

field-replaceable unit FRU. Assembly removed and replaced in its entirety when any one of

its components fails (D). See active field-replaceable unit.

firmware Embedded program code that resides and runs on, for example,

directors, switches, and hubs.

FL_Port See fabric loop port.

FX_Port A port configuration allowing a port to transition operationally to

either an F_Port or an FL_Port. Only the Sphereon 4500 Switch

supports the configuration of this port type.
